  • Publication number: 20240135102
    Abstract: A method of this disclosure may include performing a named entity recognition on text information related to requirements for a wireframe by a first artificial intelligence (AI) model, so as to extract entities and relations of the entities from the text information. The method may further comprise inputting the extracted entities and relations to a second AI model to generate the wireframe, wherein the second AI model is trained so that a difference between resultant relations of the entities of the generated wireframe and the extracted relations of the entities from the first AI model is decreased.

  • Patent number: 11076498
    Abstract: A fixing device used with an electronic device having a base includes a housing and two pressing elements. The housing includes an accommodating space for accommodating the base. Each pressing element includes a pressing portion and a latch portion. The pressing portions protrude from opposite sides of the housing, and the latch portions protrude from a bottom of the accommodating space. The base includes two positioning structures corresponding to the latch portions. When the electronic device is in the locked state, the base is accommodated in the accommodating space, and the positioning structure and the latch portion are coupled so the electronic device is fixed in the accommodating space. When the electronic device is in the unlocked state, the pressing portions are simultaneously subjected to external opposing forces, and the positioning structure is uncoupled from the latch portion so the electronic device can be disassembled from the accommodating space.
